Some tip's if your heading out at this spot...

1 # Pay attention to the channel markers right out front of the launching area, they have very sharp spikes on top... Fly your kite high till outside of them !

2 # You will need a pillow sack or one of those canvus shopping bags to place sand in to self launch off the grassed area as the beach area will do damage to your kite not to mention your hands if you try to shovel it on your kite...

3 # be careful as you wade into the water, sharp rocks and glass can be found amoungst the slushy mud !

Apart from those things to be considered (i've gone out at worse places) the place ROCK's !

looks like S/E. won't be a good representation of the what the winds should be like for gravity games. Probably not worth the effort except for checking the place out.

Guys, watch out for the transperth ferry. Also watch out for Marine Safety, the area along there is eight knots.

Apart from the the kiting should be filth

did a bit of pole dancing there back in the 80's as i lived in Vic Park then.

take note of wot HL said above. bit of sludge and some sharp rocks/glass near the waters edge. booties might be a good call! sand from memory was hard compacted grit so u need an assisted launch or sand bags.

stay well clear of the ferry channel which is only about 30-40m from the shoreline.

take some pics with the city as a backdrop and post 'em here...

Hey is this kiting down at the Sth Perth FS really gonna happen? If so post it here and let us know when your all heading down, should be good to go down as i live only a hop skip jump around the corner!!!
Times etc would be great to know if a bunch og ppl are heading out.. Is it even 'legal' persay to kite down there, coz i'm assuming that a wrong move will land kiters in a bad zone with the council, i am sure teh CM have approval as they have been operating down at the FS for yonks!!
More over giving it a go wont hurt!
